CHICAGO, September 8.-The '"Times'''
Montreal special OF September 9TH says:
The Government organ in Canada has
the following to-day, and it is official:
1t is understood on excellent authority
that although the exact working of the
Fisheries Commission is not known
here, still sufficient of its nature has
been ascertained to warrant the assump-
ton that it will not be strictly confined
to consideration of the fisheries question
proper, and that the scope of the COM
mission will be sufficiently large to en-
able the commissioners to exercise dis
cretiOnary powers to consider and report
upon commercial questions. Thus the
whole matter relating to the fisheries,
including any measure in the way of
reciprocal arrangements for the inter
change of commodities, mutual rear
rangement of certain trade relations be-
tween the United States and Canada
may, it is believed, become subjects for
consideration by the commission. This
will be cause for cOngratulation, as it
leads to the hope that through the in
strumentality of the commission an
amicable and satisfactory settlement on
permanent basis of this long pending
question may be arrived at.
LONDON, September 7.-Commenting
on the invitation received by Gladstone
from the Executive Committee to attend
the centennial celebration at Philadel-
phia of the adoption of the American
Constitution, the "Times' says: Eng
lishmen will not fail to gratefully recog-
nize the kindly feeling that prompted
the invitation. We are sorry as Gladstone
was chosen, that he is unable to accept,
but find it difficult to discover how the
conclusion was arrived at that Gladstone
was peculiarly fitted to represent Eng
land on such an occasion. We should
hardly select Blaine to represent the
United States if an English celebration
were in question.
WASHINGTON, September s12th.-The
application of the Governor of Illinois
for the extradition of McGarigle, the
fugitive Chicago ex-Warden, which has
been received at the Department of
State, will be reserved for the personal
consideration of Secretary Bayard when
he returns to the city. As a rule, action
upon applications for extradltion papers
is purely formal, the preliminaries to
granting the request consisting merely of
an examination into the extradition
treaties to ascertain if the offense charged
falls within their terms, but it is under
stood that the present application is
based upon charge of conspiracy, for
which no provision is made in the ex-
listing treaty with Canada. A legal
point of gravity is involved in the appli-
cation, and its consideration may, there
fore, occupy some time.
BERLIN, September 12th-Prince Bis
marck gave an audience on Saturday to
